I got a Kessel;ring to test these out.
it is not like the original.
Shoulderboards missing, the peaked cap is like the regular officer offerings not like the general officer figures from CH. HS is shiny and more of an orange color. Tunic is different with cloth piping, far from original Kesselrings details.
Overcoat a slightly different color and different collar.
The trousers inthe box look ok.
Even the medals are different. The IC 1st class is a WWII version and the original CH is the WWI version.
My experiment with these white boxes ends at one!
Que siga la fiesta!

I was going to post my observations on my Kesselring for winterdan, but you beat me to it! I don't have an original to compare it to, but mine had old style rubber shoulderboards inside of his cap (one set, you must attach them yourself, just like the medals). Said cap seems to be more field gray than field blue, and the blue surrounding the tunic and cap eagles is a lot darker than the uniform. The collar patches seem a little "blurry", but my headsculpt paint job seems normal. Also, the holster is a bit glossy, possibly painted, and the gloved hands and riding boots are "harder" than the DML versions. I hope to get an original someday, if I come across one at a decent price. If so, I'd make the knock-off into a tropical uni version. And I would never try to pass my "white box" one off as an actual CH/DML product.
